Safety of Onondaga Lake called into question again

WSYR: It was only six months ago that more than 20 Central New York Leaders jumped into Onondaga Lake to highlight the success of the cleanup thus far.

However, the Onondaga Nation says the lake is far from clean as two mishaps are now being made public.

It’s been more than a decade since the DEC ordered a cleanup for Onondaga Lake.

After Honeywell spent years dredging, or removing, toxins from the lake floor, the Onondaga Nation’s environmental attorney Alma Lowry says reports have uncovered two incidents that cause major concerns.
